Lucy Montgomery's Prince Edward Island In Real Life
The writer, Lucy Montgomery, has an impressive sense of humor and her way with words is exceptionally awesome; after reading about Montgomery’s life I think that Anne represented her in fantasy world, the reason why I think that is because she has a lot of similarities with Anne I mean like they both were orphan and like Anne, Montgomery was particular about the spelling of name, and both of them loved green gables (which is Prince Edward Island in real life.) In the book the author has used a third person narrative mode to unfold the plot. The vivid descriptions of nature and Anne’s beautiful portrayal of the places in her day dream as well as her surroundings makes Lucy Montgomery a detailed oriented writer.
With her unexpected ways and boundless
imagination Anne has a natural skill for getting into trouble. The novel begins by Anne being brought to Green Gables to be adopted by middle aged siblings, Marilla and Mathew Cuthbert. Being a chatterbox that she is, Anne initially gets on Marilla's nerves, but the hardheaded, old lady joins Mathew and falls for Anne’s unexpected, loving ways and begins to love her as her own daughter. Montgomery takes the reader further with Anne's adventures and disasters, her relation with Mathew and Marilla, her fights with Gilbert Blythe who teases her for her red hair, on the first day of school, and her friendships especially with Diana whom she lovingly refers to as her 'bosom friend'. The novel ends up with Anne graduating from Queens’s academy with a teaching license.
It is impossible for anyone after reading this book to not love Anne not only because she is one of a kind, but mostly, because we can all relate our childhood to hers at some points. I honestly chose Montgomery’s book because I thought I knew what would happen to Anne and the obsticles of being an orphan because I saw the 2014 movie but this book was beyond different than the Anne we know today. The book is a delightful read, and not to be missed. The fact that Lucy Montgomery was a detailed oriented writer turned the book into a narrative on Anne growing up, and each chapter became about a new episode in her life. In my opinion the narrative style did become a bit too predictable, but in the end I still really liked this story because it warmed my heart and I couldn’t stop smiling the entire time I was reading the book.
